Commercial Restaurant Ventilation Hood Installation and Repair
Commercial restaurant ventilation systems present several challenges to modern kitchens. Therefore, they should be installed correctly from the start. For example, kitchen grease hoods, condensation hoods, and exhaust fans must adhere to state and local building codes. Plus, they need to work within the building’s layout to keep air flowing effectively.
A poorly designed system can cause drafts, temperature fluctuations, or even safety issues. So, if you’re installing a new ventilation hood, replacing an old one, or in need of repairs, call the experts at Ambient Edge. We’ll install a system tailored to the unique airflow needs of your North Las Vegas kitchen.
What Are the Benefits of Good Airflow in My Restaurant Kitchen?
Restaurant ventilation systems are designed to be more extensive and complex than systems utilized in other business types. Therefore, maintaining good ventilation is crucial for customer comfort, employee health and morale, and the safe preparation and storage of your food.
Advantages of a Commercial Kitchen Ventilation System
Restaurants are often challenging environments to work in on a daily basis. They’re filled with steam, excessive moisture, high heat, and odors. Ventilation hoods and quality ductwork can:
Boost air quality
In your restaurant kitchen, you’ll experience airborne contaminants and particulates, including grease and smoke. While cooking fuel may produce harmful gases. A properly working ventilation system can reduce pollutants and bolster the general tolerability of your commercial kitchen.
Reduce your energy bills
By lowering the average temperature in your restaurant kitchen, your ventilation system helps you drop your energy bills which will help you reduce your operating costs.
Remove airborne grease
Restaurant grease coats ceilings, floors, walls, and other equipment. Specific ventilation hoods remove grease and improve the air and surfaces of your commercial kitchen.
Lower ambient temperatures
Ovens, stoves, and other equipment are constantly running in every North Las Vegas kitchen. A ventilation system removes heat and replaces it with cooler outside air.
Reduced odors
Raw ingredients or burned food can contribute to the production of odors. Ventilation in your restaurant can reduce these odors, improving the ambiance of your dining room and kitchen.
Properly Installed Restaurant Ventilation Equipment
Installing a restaurant ventilation system and hood unit is a complicated process. It requires exceptional knowledge of air movement dynamics in commercial spaces. Some of the benefits of our ventilation systems include:
- Exceptional air quality for staff and guests
- Consistent air pressure from HVAC, ventilation, and makeup systems
- Prevention of dangerous back drafting
At Ambient Edge, we don’t just require NATE certification for our technicians; we also require that they take part in ongoing training to remain up to date on current health and safety standards.
We Design Ventilation Systems Matched to Your Kitchen’s Needs
Every kitchen is different and has different needs. That’s why we don’t treat your business like just any other kitchen – we design and install ventilation systems that work according to the layout and needs of your space.
Improperly installed ventilation doesn’t just lead to uncomfortable drafts and added cleaning time. A faulty ventilation unit can cause any number of safety and health concerns, including increased danger of grease fires, smoky air, heat-related health issues, and even back drafting of dangerous gasses into your restaurant.
With us, you can be sure you’re getting the proper ventilation system for your kitchen and that it’ll be installed right the first time, guaranteed. The most common ventilation units we service include:
Type I Ventilation Hoods
Also called “grease hoods,” Type I Ventilation Hoods are required by law for any commercial kitchen that produces grease or smoke. Grease hoods are designed to remove oil, smoke, condensation, heat, and other byproducts of cooking.
They often incorporate makeup air devices that replace the old, greasy air with clean air from outside. If your kitchen utilizes grills, fryers, open flame stoves, or cooktops, you probably need a grease hood.
Type II Ventilation Hoods
Type II Ventilation hoods are also called “condensation hoods” and are used to remove excess heat. This makes the workplace more comfortable for your kitchen staff by removing heat, steam, vapor, and odors during the baking and dishwashing processes.
If your kitchen uses a large dishwasher or ovens for baking or steaming, you probably need a condensation hood.
Makeup Air Systems
While grease and condensation hoods sometimes come equipped with makeup air components, some kitchens need more heavy-duty systems to replace the old air. Makeup air is the air drawn inside your restaurant to make up for air being forced out of your building.
If your kitchen experiences back-venting (when air or gasses that should be removed instead flow back into the building), unpleasant odors, substantial changes in air pressure, or higher energy bills, it is likely your makeup air system. Without enough makeup air, negative pressure can cause these issues, plus make your doors slam easily or challenging to open.
Exhaust Fans
Exhaust fans help keep your entire system operating by supplying the airflow your system needs. These fan types are typically installed in the wall or on the roof and are built to deliver your kitchen a healthy flow of air.
Other Ventilation-Related Equipment
The list above is not comprehensive. We also service canopy hoods, island hoods, proximity hoods, ductwork, commercial refrigeration units, and commercial HVAC systems. If it moves air through your kitchen, our pros have the expertise to maximize its efficiency.
Yet, having the right equipment isn’t enough. It also needs to be appropriately situated, so your kitchen and restaurant’s airflow maintains consistent temperatures, air pressure, and filtration.
When you call our restaurant ventilation hood installation and repair company in North Las Vegas, we’ll connect you with one of our commercial ventilation hood experts who can walk you through the most efficient and affordable options to address your kitchen’s needs.
Get the Most Out of Your Commercial Ventilation Investment
Even the most optimized and efficient ventilation system requires consistent maintenance. Without proper upkeep, your equipment will collect grease and grime, impairing overall efficiency over time. In addition, as your equipment ages, it develops wear and tear that can create severe problems if left unrepaired.
We offer both one-off maintenance calls and ongoing maintenance contracts to keep your equipment clean and efficient. With our regular maintenance and cleaning plans, you can be confident your equipment will run at peak performance for years to come.
